Lion's mane jellyfish
The lion's mane jellyfish is one of the largest jellyfish known, and its bell can be over 2 m across in the far north. It lives in cold northern seas, including the English Channel, the North Sea and the Irish Sea. Its long, trailing stinging tentacles can wash up on beaches in late summer and autumn.1

Paano ito makikilala
- Bell is divided into eight lobes, giving it the look of an eight-point star1
- Young ones are light orange or tan, darkening to red and purple as they grow1
- Long, thin, trailing tentacles, with many more tentacles around the mouth1
- Bell is often about 50 cm across in lower latitudes, and much larger in the far north1
- Usually found alone, rarely in groups1
Madalas mapagkamalang: The blue jellyfish (Cyanea lamarckii) is sometimes found in the same waters. It is blue rather than red, and smaller, with a bell of about 10 to 20 cm across.1
Lakas ng kamandag

Ano ang epekto ng kamandag nito?
Its tentacles carry stinging cells, called nematocysts, which inject a sting when touched. The sting is very painful and feels like intense itching or burning, and it can cause temporary pain and redness where the skin was touched. Stings across large parts of the body can cause whole-body (systemic) effects, and medical attention is recommended in that case.1
Gaano ito kapanganib sa tao?
Panganib sa tao: MasakitTalagang masakit, pero halos hindi kailanman malala.Stings are not known to be fatal in healthy people, and there is normally no real danger, though people with special allergies may be at risk. Rare severe stings in deep water can cause panic, which may lead to drowning. In July 2010, about 150 beachgoers were stung by the remains of one broken-up jellyfish on a beach in New Hampshire, US.1
Kung tumusok ito
- Vinegar can be used to deactivate the stinging cells. If you have touched a large number of tentacles, get medical attention after exposure.1
- Umahon sa tubig at tanggalin ang anumang galamay (gamit ang guwantes o tela).
- Para sa tropikal na box jellyfish: buhusan ng suka ang mga tusok nang hindi bababa sa 30 segundo, tumawag ng tulong at maging handang mag-CPR. Para sa bluebottle at karamihan sa iba: banlawan ng tubig-dagat, pagkatapos ay mainit na tubig para sa sakit.
Laging tawagan muna ang numero pang-emergency (112, 000, 911). Ito ay pangkalahatang gabay sa pangunang lunas, hindi payong medikal. Mga batayan ng pangunang lunas
Mag-ingat
- Huwag kailanman hawakan, hulihin o asarin ang ligaw na hayop, kahit maliit, at kahit mukha itong tulog o patay.
- Bigyan ito ng espasyo. Kung makasalubong ka ng isa, manatiling kalmado, dahan-dahang umatras at hayaan itong umalis.
- Kung tusukin ka ng isa: manatiling kalmado, huwag gumalaw, tawagan ang numero pang-emergency (112, 000, 911) o pumunta agad sa ospital. Tandaan ang itsura nito, makakatulong ang litrato.
Hindi ka nito hinahabol. Ginagamit nito ang kamandag para manghuli ng pagkain o ipagtanggol ang sarili, at mas gusto pa nitong magtago. Higit pa tungkol sa pag-iingat

Mga fact
The longest recorded tentacles were 36.6 m long, longer than a blue whale.1
Its tentacles can still sting for up to 25 days after they have detached from the jellyfish.1
Each of the eight lobes of its bell has about 70 to 150 tentacles, and it has around 1,200 tentacles near its mouth.1
The leatherback sea turtle feeds almost exclusively on lion's mane jellyfish in large numbers during summer around Eastern Canada.1
Unlike most jellyfish that drift in groups, the lion's mane is completely solitary.1
Myth buster
Mito: The lion's mane jellyfish is the longest animal in the world.
Totoo: This claim was made on a TV show, but it was corrected. A bootlace worm reported in 1864 was said to be over 55 m long, and that report is doubted because bootlace worms can stretch well beyond their natural length. If that report is wrong, the lion's mane would be the longest animal.1
